A novel antibiotic, penitricin, Ro 09-0804, has been produced in the culture filtrate of Penicillium aculeatum NR 5165. This antibiotic was purified by repeated extraction of culture filtrate with 1-butanol, and passage of the crude extracts through Sephadex G-10, followed

The first psico-oxetanocin analogue of the powerful antiviral natural product, oxetanocin A, has been readily synthesized from cis-2-butene-1,4-diol. Key 2-methyleneoxetane precursors were derived from β-lactones prepared by the carbonylation of epoxides. F(+)-mediated nucleobase incorporation provided the corresponding nucleosides in good

The catalytic condensation of cis-2-butene-1,4-diol with CpRu(MQA)(C(3)H(5)) (Cp = cyclopentadienyl, MQA = 4-methoxyquinoline-2-carboxylate) generates poly(2-butenediol), an unsaturated telechelic polyether diol with molecular weights between 400 and 4600 g/mol. This Ru(IV) allyl catalyst enchains 2-butene-1,4-diol primarily as the linear trans-2-butenyl ether

A novel antibiotic, penitricin showing anti-Gram-negative activity, has been isolated from the culture filtrate of Penicillium aculeatum. Chemical and physico-chemical studies determined the structure of penitricin as hydroxymethylcyclopropenone (1), which was confirmed by chemical synthesis from propargyl alcohol. Biological activity

Lithium-ion batteries have remained a state-of-the-art electrochemical energy storage technology for decades now, but their energy densities are limited by electrode materials and conventional liquid electrolytes can pose significant safety concerns. Lithium metal batteries featuring Li metal anodes, solid polymer
